32: Two voltmeters with different resistances are connected in series across a 120-V
V 120 V
line. So the current flowing is I  R   1.20  10 3 A. But the current
total 100  10 3

required for full-scale deflection for each voltmeter is:
150 V 150 V
I fsd (10 k )   0.0150 A and I fsd  90 k    1.67  10 3 A.
10,000  90,000 
So the readings are:
 1.20  10 3 A   1.20  10 3 A 
V10 kΩ  150 V   12 V and V90 kΩ  150 V 3
  108 V.
 0.0150 A   1.67  10 A 
